Description

Journey to the exotic Philippines and visit this archipelago of over 7,000 islands! The Philippines, otherwise known as the “land of the morning,” is a gorgeous and lush country, filled with remote exotic locales, as well as modern bustling cities.

You and your companion will begin this journey of a lifetime by flying business class on Philippine Airlines from San Francisco to the Spanish and Chinese-influenced capital city of Manila. Once there, you will enjoy a two-night stay at the magnificent world-class Dusit Hotel Nikko in the business district of Makati in Manila, and explore the country’s entertainment and shopping mecca. As you sightsee, immerse yourself in bayanihan, or the Filipino spirit of kinship and camaraderie that Filipinos are famous for.

After your introduction to the Filipino way of life, you will be whisked away on Asian Spirit airlines to the tropical island of Palawan, where you will be treated to a two-night stay at the beautiful Club Paradise. After spending three days swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving in the turquoise waters of the Pacific, you will return on Asian Spirit to Manila and back to the Dusit Hotel, where you will spend another two-nights in your well-appointed guest room.

During your final stay in Manila, you will be treated to a round of golf at a prestigious country club in Santa Rosa, and will get a first-hand view of the historic walled downtown Manila on a guided walking tour.

After enjoying the sights, sounds and tastes of the Philippines, you will return to San Francisco with a newfound appreciation for this unique country and culture.
